Graduating filmmakers, who will soon enter South Africa s mainstream film and television industry, showcase their talent at the 2013 AFDA Annual Film Festival which takes place on 22 and 23 November at Rosebank Cinema Nouveau in Johannesburg; on 23 and 24 November at V & A Cinema Nouveau in Cape Town and 23 November at AFDA Campus in Durban.

Garth Holmes, AFDA chairman and co-founder, says: Students have really put everything into their projects and I look forward to seeing their work on the big screen in a formal cinema and with a willing audience.

Third year, fourth year and masters graduation films will be screened to a panel of industry professionals and audience members who will assess if projects are commercially viable and meet artistic requirements.

Previous student films, which have featured at major events such as the Durban International Film Festival and the New York City Picture Start Film Festival, include Kanye Kanye directed by Miklas Manneke, Jean Pant directed by Rowen Smith, Keeping Up Appearances directed by Thea Small and The Brave Unseen co directed by Duan Myburgh.

Two Telenova projects, which are entirely developed and produced by students from the School of Television, will screen on 18 November at 17h00 for 18h00 at the Cape Town campus.

A live broadcast of the productions will feature on Cape Community TV (Channel 263 on DSTV).

Tickets cost R20 per screening in Cape Town, R25 in Johannesburg and R20 for a once-off festival entry in Durban.
